- I have to avoid casinos, because I love blackjack -- and despite my laughable attempts to devise "a system", get fleeced within an inch of my life at least half the time. Why do I do it?

Given that gambling revenues are, in one of our age's typical ironies, increasingly providing a local tax base for motherhood stuff like hospitals and schools, we probably ought to be glad that fools like me are occasionally bit by the gambling bug. But anyone who gambles knows that it's almost impossible to explain the attraction to those who don't. |

- Today is the last day of XM Bootcamp II. I don't know what I'm going to do without clear direction on what channel to listen to each day -- I guess I'll cope somehow. Anyway, today's channel is XM Live, which bills itself as "The Artists' Playground". The gimmick is very simple: play live concerts. |

- There are so many tools available to address the deficiencies in Window's built-in search capabilities that deciding which to use has become mind-boggling. I've been evaluating many of the popular tools that readers, other bloggers, and tech magazines have been recommending. My quest? To see if there is, in fact, a single tool that can do everything I need without compromising the stability or peformance of my system. In the next few days, I'll be posting individual reviews of the following tools. |

- For men it is quick, easy and essential for reproduction. For women, it is slow, difficult and purely for pleasure. Yet despite such differences, it brings the sexes together and is the basis of the monogamy that distinguishes us from other animals.
